Quick and dirty cel shading, like in anime, partly because i'm lazy, and partly because i want to work on makinami. It probably didn't work so well because I didn't smooth it out at all. Well, guess any changes will happen after I finish makinami.

Actually I didn't like neru's pose, but I don't have any idea what to do to replace it. As for len, i'm going to make a better bishounen version. His hair is a tad difficult tho.

... Facial features remind me of a certain..............

..... siti....

Which siti? I didn't draw anyone in mind. simply reka-reka the face only..

Original doodle vs. painted.

Based on comments, this is
the result. Still 80% minor cleanup of clothes, glasses and maybe modifying the eyes.

Actual resolution is 1280*2000. So there a LOT of cleanup to do. Est. Two to four hours of work.

@Agito: girl looks great, but I think the guys left foot, right arm and neck looks a bit odd.

oh wow sadako! xD that looks much better now!

because i actually posing them to 52 number...ya guy is a bit odd haha...lazy to change la...edit in PS with real a4 setting is pain in ass.

Lol. True that. But i'm actually amazed you actually do the linework in PS. I tried a few times, took too long, now rather do linework on paper. Much faster & less wasted time, since for me, colouring takes the most time, and in terms of achieving a finished product, there is less chance of burnout for me. Tracking my makinami pic, maybe 6 hours already on colouring. And it's still rough. The more I colour, the more things I change LOL. Too bad i'm limited by my current skills. Not reached burnout stage yet though. HER GLASSES ARE EVIL! So damn hard to draw. So is the tie. Might as well finish it now and fix up miku pic.


@sakura
Still not done yet, but thanks for the comment. Shading the glasses and the tie is going to be hellish, definitely.

As for miku pic,
redrawing some of the characters. I'm ditching the picture frames idea. Maybe make it more hi tech, but no idea at the moment what to do yet. Can you suggest something?

do in separate layer for glasses

BTW , tangan gatal use liquid filter to mod your picture.

lol, didn't realize you prefer nose besar. Maybe will draw evil witch with big nose after this. Though probably just a quick doodle, since i have little interest in colouring.completed works unless i'm motivated. And that's a rare occurance.

The glasses are on a seperate layer already, it's just drawing the shape and shading that's hard. Can't remember the last time. I drew for more than 6-9 hours.

I wonder why you didn't liquid filter the boobs for extra volume?

i prefer longer nose a bit

what bomb?
you mean the CF art the light sphere? that one i draw one, use liquid filter wil destroy background haha...since i merged all layers to lighten my PC ram usage.

boobs, not bomb actually.
Heh. I think the biggest psd file i've worked on is 40mb.

The nose it the picture is long, but hidden by the glasses frame, which was why I edited it a lot. Glasses are worn on the bridge of the more, and for full plastic frame glasses without nose pads, they are actually worn lower, hiding part of the eyes. So, I had to 'bend' the rules a bit, so her eyes are not obscured by the frame.

*fires a round of missile boobs at the glassess layer.* Evil!!!

my PC ram us 2GB only
i think i did biggest file is A2 size...with 300 dpi...but not drawing, just editing

i think 2gb enuff what. Unless u use newest photoshop. I use elements only. Btw, what tablet u use? My one 4 year old graphire 2, no longer made. Which shop sell replacement tips?
